INTRODUCTION. 


AMONG  the  various  attempts  to  facilitate  the  orthography 
and  pronunciation  of  the  English  language,  it  is  not  a  little 
surprising  that  the  method  here  adopted  should  have  been 
either  totally  overlooked  or  neglected.  A  Rhyming  Dic- 
tionary in  a  living  language,  for  the  purposes  of  poetry, 
seems  no  very  unnatural  or  useless  production,  and  imper- 
fect sketches  of  such  a  work  have  already  been  given  us 
by  Poole  and  Bysshe ;  but  no  one  has  hitherto  thought  of 
making  a  dictionary  of  terminations  subservient  to  the  art 
of  spelling  and  pronouncing.  The  more  obvious  use  of  a 
work  of  this  kind  was  perhaps  an  obstacle  to  the  comple- 
tion of  it,  and  its  latent,  though  more  useful  qualities,  were 
by  this  means  unobserved.  A  mere  rhyming  dictionary 
was  looked  on  either  as  a  bauble  for  school-boys,  or  a  re- 
source for  poetasters;  and  the  nobler  ends  of  pointing  out 
the  analogy  of  orthography  and  pronunciation,  like  many 
other  advantages,  were  overlooked  in  the  insignificancy  and 
puerility  of  the  means. 

Johnson's  Dictionary  is  scarcely  more  valuable  for  so 
nicely  tracing  the  various  and  almost  vanishing  shades  of 
the  same  word,  than  for  furnishing  us  with  so  copious  a  col- 
lection of  nearly  similar  words  of  a  different  form.  Those 
who  understand  the  harmony  of  prose,  pay  a  cheerful  tri- 
bute to  Dr.  Johnson  on  this  account,  as  he  admits  them  to 
a  more  easy  and  extensive  view  of  the  powers  of  the  lan- 
guage, than  can  possibly  be  suggested  by  the  memory 
alone  ;  and  by  this  means  assists  that  delicacy  of  choice,  on 
which  the  precision  and  harmony  of  expression  so  essen- 
tially depend.  This  advantage,  which  perhaps  was  not  fore- 
seen by  Dr.  Johnson  himself,  was  no  more  than  a  necessary, 
though  not  an  obvious,  consequence  of  so  copious  and 
perfect  a  distribution  of  the  language  into  its  constituent 
parts;  and  without  the  vanity  of  pretending  to  a  parallel, 
it  may  naturally  be  presumed,  that  an  arrangement,  which 
is  perfectly  new,  may  possibly  produce  advantages  which 
were  entirely  unnoticed  before  this  arrangement  was  actu- 
ally drawn  out;  for  experience  furnishes  us  with  a  variety 
of  instances  of  unexpected  improvements  arising  from  new,

IV  INTRODUCTION. 

and    perhaps    fortuitous    combinations,    which    were    never 
suspected  by  theorists,  until  a  discovery  had  been  made. 

The  English  language,  it  may  be  said,  has  hitherto  been 
seen  through  but  one  end  of  the  perspective;  and  though 
terminations  form  the  distinguishing  character  and  specific 
difference  of  every  language  in  the  world,  we  have  never 
till  now  had  a  prospect  of  our  own,  in  this  point  of  view. 
Dr.  Wallis  has,  with  great  penetration  and  sagacity,  shown 
the  general  import  of  initial  consonants;  and  with  more 
appearance  of  truth  than  could  have  been  conceived,  has 
evinced,  that  words  of  a  similar  signification,  which  are  ra- 
dically English,  commence  with  nearly  the  same  radical 
articulations.  Mr.  Elphinston  too  has  given  us  a  very  good 
idea  of  the  general  import  of  terminations,  by  strictures  on 
the  greatest  part  of  them;  but  none  have  yet  thought  it 
worth  their  while  to  give  us  a  complete  and  alphabetical 
enumeration  of  the  whole,  by  which  alone  we  can  have  an 
adequate  idea  of  every  part.  In  this  arrangement  of  the 
language,  we  easily  discover  its  idiomatic  structure,  and 
find  its  several  parts  fall  into  their  proper  classes,  and  al- 
most every  word  as  much  distinguished  by  its  termination 
as  its  sense.  We  at  one  glance  perceive  the  peculiar  vege- 
tation of  our  own  language,  and  the  alteration  foreign  words 
undergo,  by  being  transplanted  into  English  soil.  And 
thus  by  an  acquaintance  with  the  specific  character  of  every 
termination,  we  are  the  more  readily  led  to  assimilate  foreign 
terms,  by  stamping  them  with  the  current  impression  of 
our  own.

ORTHOGRAPHY. 

But  an  analogical  insight  into  the  recesses  of  formation 
is  not  every  advantage  arising  from  this  new  and  complete 
prospect  of  it.  Our  orthography  is  not  only  an  insuperable 
difficulty  to  foreigners,  but  an  eternal  source  of  dispute  and 
perplexity  to  ourselves;  and  though  it  would  be  in  vain  to 
think  of  removing  every  intricacy  that  is  constantly  arising 
from  indolence  and  caprice,  yet  that  a  considerable  number 
may  be  remedied  by  a  view  of  the  general  laws  of  formation, 
will  be  readily  conceived  by  those  who  inquire  into  the 
origin  of  the  difficulties  complained  of.  By  an  affectation 


INTRODUCTION.  V 

of  approximating  to  the  orthography  of  the  learned  lan- 
guages, wo  have  rooted  out  many  useful  letters  that  sprang 
up  naturally  with  exotic  words,  and  have  been  led  to  ex- 
clude all  letters  in  our  compounds  which  are  not  actually 
pronounced,  though  their  existence  in  these  words  is  often 
no  less  necessary  to  prevent  ambiguity  than  in  the  simples 
themselves. 

Thus  the  useful  servile  e  is  hardly  ever  suffered  to  have 
a  place  in  composition,  though  from  a  feeling  of  its  import- 
ance, we  are  almost  intuitively  tempted  to  let  it  remain  in 
the  branches,  whenever  we  recollect  it  in  the  root.  The 
omission  or  insertion  of  this  letter  occasions  a  numerous 
catalogue  of  rules  and  exceptions.  The  other  serviles,  /,  a, 
&c.  are  no  less  absurdly  omitted  in  composition,  though 
their  power  remains,  and  by  this  means  both  orthography 
and  pronunciation  are  confounded.  The  duplication  of 
consonants,  when  an  additional  termination  is  assumed, 
forms  another  difficulty  in  our  terminational  orthography, 
as  it  may  be  called,  which  has  embarrassed  the  most  correct 
and  accurate  writers.  Now  the  only  clew  to  extricate  us 
from  this  labyrinth  seems  the  method  here  adopted.  An 
immediate  view  of  the  similar  formation  of  similar  parts  of 
speech,  gives  us  a  competent  idea  of  the  laws  of  termina- 
tional orthography,  and  enables  us  to  detect  the  least  vio- 
lation of  them.  Thus,  when  in  our  best  dictionaries  I  find 
saleable,  tameable,  and  a  few  other  words  of  the  same 
form,  retain  the  silent  e,  I  conclude  these  are  either  slips 
of  the  pen,  or  errors  of  the  press;  for  that  the  whole  cur- 
rent of  similar  endings,  as  blamable,  adorable,  definable, 
&c.  omit  the  e,  and  that  no  reason  appears  for  retaining 
it  in  the  former,  and  not  in  the  latter  words. 

But  in  order  to  detect  the  orthographical  irregularities 
of  our  language,  it  will  be  necessary  first  to  lay  down  such 
general  maxims  in  spelling  as  have  almost  universally 
taken  place.  By  these  we  may  judge  of  the  impropriety 
of  those  deviations,  which  are  owing  perhaps  to  a  want  of 
seeing  the  laws  of  formation  as  here  exhibited,  and  know- 
ing how  far  the  irregularity  extends. 

ORTHOGRAPHICAL  APHORISMS. 

APHORISM   I. 

Monosyllables  ending  with  f,  /,  or  s,  preceded  by  a  sin- 


VI  INTRODUCTION. 

cle  vowel,  double  the  final  consonant;  as  staff,  mill, 
&c.  of,  if,  as,  is,  has,  was,  yes,  us,  thus,  are  the  only  ex- 
ceptions; and  add,  butt,  ebb,  egg,  odd,  err,  buzz,  are  the 
only  words  where  other  consonants  are  doubled  in  the  same 
situation. 

APHORISM   II. 

Words  ending  with  y,  preceded  by  a  consonant,  form  the 
plurals  of  nouns,  the  persons  of  verbs,  verbal  nouns,  past 
participles,  comparatives,  and  superlatives,  by  changing  y 
into  » ;  as  spy,  spies,  I  carry,  thou  earnest,  he  carrieth,  or 
carries,  carrier,  carried,  happy,  happier,  happiest ;  but  the 
present  participle  in  ing  retains  the  y,  that  i  may  not  be 
doubled,  as  carrying :  y  preceded  by  a  vowel  is  never 
changed,  as  boy,  boys,  I  cloy,  he  cloys,  &c. 

Observations. 

By  this  rule  we  may  perceive  the  impropriety  of  writing 
flyer  for  flier,  and  defycr  for  defler,  and  the  still  greater 
impropriety  of  writing  fatner,  oftner,  and  softner,  for  fat- 
tener,  oftener,  and  softener ;  though  we  meet  with  them  in 
our  best  dictionaries;  for  the  common  terminations  of 
verbs,  verbal  nouns,  participles,  &c.  never  occasion  any 
contraction  in  the  radical  word ;  entrance  and  remembrance 
pretend  kindred  with  the  French  entrant  and  remembrcr, 
and  are  therefore  incorrigible;  but  wondrous  ought  to  be 
written  with  the  e,  as  well  as  slanderous ;  and  if  we  write 
dexterous,  why  should  we  see  sinistrous  ? 

APHORISM    III. 

Words  ending  with  the  hissing  consonants,  ch,  s,  sh,  x, 
z,  form  the  plural  of  nouns  by  adding  es,  and  the  persons 
of  verbs  by  est,  eth,  or  es,  as  church,  churches,  I  march,  thou 
marchest,  he  marcheth,  or  marches.  Genitives  of  words 
ending  in  these  consonants  are  formed  by  adding  s  with  an 
apostrophe ;  as  St.  James's  church,  the  church's  ceremonies. 

APHORISM    IV. 

Words  ending  with  any  consonant  and  silent  c,  form  their 
plural  by  adding  s  only,  as  a  place,  places,  and  persons  of 
verbs,  by  adding  st,  th,  or  s,  as  /  place,  thou  placest,  he 
placeth,  or,  places.  Genitives  of  words  ending  with  these 
letters  are  formed  by  adding  s  with  an  apostrophe,  as  the 


INTRODUCTION.  vii 

place's  pleasantness.  Material  adjectives  in  y,  and  compa- 
ratives in  ish,  are  formed  from  substantives  of  this  termi- 
nation by  omitting  the  silent  e,  and  annexing  y  or  ish  to 
the  consonant,  as  ropy,  winy,  slavish,  swinish,  &c.  from 
ropt,  wine,  slave,  swine,  &c.  The  past  participles,  verbal 
nouns,  and  comparatives  and  superlatives,  add  d,  r,  and 
st,  to  the  simple,  as  placed,  a  placer,  wise,  wiser,  wisest ; 
but  the  present  participle  cuts  off  the  e,  and  annexes  ing, 
as  placing.  However,  where  the  silent  e  is  preceded  by 
the  soft  g,  the  e  must  be  preserved,  if  the  sense  of  the 
word  would  otherwise  be  ambiguous;  for  we  have  no 
other  means  of  distinguishing  singeing,  the  participle  of  to 
singe,  from  singing,  the  participle  of  to  sing ;  swingeing, 
from  swinging,  &c.  As  to  cringing,  twinging,  &c.  from 
cringe,  twinge,  &c.,  we  trust  to  the  common  power  of  the 
letters,  as  we  have  no  verbs  to  cring,  twing,  &c.  to  occa- 
sion any  mistake;  for  with  respect  to  participles  and  ver- 
bal nouns,  a  previous  knowledge  of  the  theme  is  supposed 
to  be  indispensably  necessary.  —  See  Aphorism  x. 

APHORISM    V. 

Words  ending  with  a  single  consonant,  preceded  by  a 
single  vowel,  and  with  the  accent  on  the  last  syllable,  upon 
assuming  an  additional  syllable,  beginning  with  a  vowel  or 
y,  double  the  consonant,  as  to  abet,  an  abettor ;  to  begin,  a 
beginning ;  a  fen,  fenny ;  thin,  thinnish,  &c.  but  if  a  diph- 
thong precede,  or  the  accent  be  on  the  preceding  syllable, 
the  consonant  remains  single,  as  to  toil,  toiling  •  to  offer, 
an  offering,  &c. 

Observations. 

By  this  rule,  which  is  founded  on  an  intention  of  ascer- 
taining the  quantity  of  the  accented  vowel  by  doubling  the 
consonant,  and  which  would  be  infinitely  useful  and  agree- 
able to  the  analogy  of  the  language,  if  extended  universally, 
we  perceive  the  impropriety  of  spelling  the  adventitious 
syllables  of  terminations  with  double  letters,  when  the  ac- 
cent is  not  really  upon  them.  Bp.  Lowth  has  justly  re- 
marked, that  this  error  frequently  takes  place  in  the  words 
worshipping,  counselling,  &c.,  which  having  the  accent  on 
the  first  syllable,  ought  to  be  written  worshiping,  counsel- 
>ii£.  &c.  An  ignorance  of  this  rule  has  led  many  to  write 
bigotted  for  bigoted ;  and  from  this  spelling  has  frequently

should  write  libelling,  levelling,  revelling,  and  yet  offering, 
svfering,  reasoning,  I  am  totally  at  a  loss  to  determine; 
and  unless  I  can  give  a  better  plea  than  any  other  letter  in 
the  alphabet  for  being  doubled  in  this  situation,  I  must,  in 
the  style  of  Lucian,  in  his  trial  of  the  letter  T,  declare  for 
an  expulsion. 

APHORISM  VI. 

Words  ending  with  y,  preceded  by  a  consonant,  upon  as- 
suming an  additional  syllable  beginning  with  a  consonant, 
change  y  into  i,  as  happy,  happily,  happiness  ;  but  y  pre- 
ceded by  a  vowel  is  never  changed,  as  coy,  coyly,  gay, 
gayly,  &c.  [We  write  now,  gay  ,  gaily.  —  ED.] 

Observations. 

By  attending  to  this  rule,  we  detect  a  number  of  typo- 
graphical errors,  from  which  even  our  best  dictionary  is 
not  free;  such  as  shyly,  dryly,  dryness,  instead  of  shily, 
drily,  driness.  Warburton,  in  his  edition  of  Pope,  every 
where  adheres  to  this  analogy.

Essay  on  Crit. 

Though  in  the  first  edition  of  this  Essay,  published  by 
Pope  himself,  we  find  this  word  written  dryly.  Why  the 
y  should  be  thus  converted  into  i  is  not  easily  conceived, 
unless  it  was  feared  we  should  confound  words  of  our  own 
language  with  those  derived  from  the  Greek;  for  with  re- 
spect to  the  distinction  of  the  plural  number  from  the  ge- 
nirive  case,  as  this  does  not  prevent  the  similitude  when  a 
vowel  precedes,  why  should  we  fear  a  mistake  between  flys 
and  fly  's  any  more  than  between  boys  and  boy's  ?  It  is  highly 
probable  that  the  origin  of  this  insignificant  and  embarrass- 
ing change  of  the  y  into  i,  arose  from  the  taste  and  saga- 
city of  English  printers,  who  considered  the  y  as  bearing 
too  little  proportion  to  the  number  of  the  other  letters, 
and  made  this  weighty  reason  the  foundation  of  the  altera- 
tion. But  this  alteration  once  allowed  by  custom,  even  a 
Baskerville  must  submit  to  it;  and  certainty  being  more 
the  object  of  language  than  perfect  propriety,  it  would  be 


INTRODUCTION.  U 

the   last   absurdity,  to  deprive   a  rule,  which  has    nothing 
else  to  recommend  it,  of  its  only  merit  —  uniformity. 

APHORISM  VII. 

Words  ending  with  any  double  letter  but  I,  and  taking 
ness,  /ess,  ly,  or  ful,  after  them,  preserve  the  letter  double ; 
as  harmlessness,  carelessness,  carelessly,  stiffness,  stiffly, 
successful,  distressful,  &c. ;  but  those  words  ending  with 
double  /,  and  taking  ness,  less,  ly,  or  ful,  after  them,  omit 
one  /,  as  fulness,  skilless,  fully. 

Observations. 

Why  one  I  should  be  omitted  when  less  or  ly  is  assumed, 
may  be  easily  conceived  to  arise  from  the  uncouth  appear- 
ance three  letters  of  the  same  kind  would  have  when  meet- 
ing together;  but  why  the  analogy  between  these  simples 
and  compounds  should  be  destroyed  when  ness  or  ful  is 
assumed,  is  not  easy  to  comprehend;  why  should  we  not 
write  dullness,  fullness,  skillful,  and  willful,  as  well  as 
stiffness,  gruffness,  crossly,  and  crossness?  Nay,  the  pro- 
priety of  this  orthography  makes  it  almost  impossible  to 
root  it  out  entirely,  and  we  find  these  four  words,  illness, 
fellness,  shrillness,  and  stillness,  left  in  our  best  dictionary 
with  the  double  /,  but  a  greater  number  of  words  of  the 
same  form  having  the  single  I,  as  smalness,  talness,  chilnesSj 
dulness,  fulness,  and  the  long  catalogue  of  words  of  this 
termination,  as  wilfulness,  blissfulness,  &c.,  sufficiently 
show  to  which  orthography  custom  has  the  greatest  par- 
tiality; and  indeed  as  the  rage  for  curtailing  our  language 
of  double  letters  seems  incurable,  the  disease  will  at  least 
be  more  tolerable  if  we  determine  its  progress  to  some 
uniformity,  and  since  there  is  no  hope  of  restoring  the 
lost  I  to

APHORISM    VIII. 

JVcss,  less,  ly,  and  ful,  added  to  words  ending  with  silent 
e,  do  not  cut  it  off,  as  paleness,  guileless,  closely,  peaceful, 
&c.  except  e  is  preceded  by  a  vowel,  and  then  it  is  omitted, 
as  duly,  truly,  from  due,  and  true. 

Observations. 

But  what  shall  we  say  then  to  bluely,  blueness,  rueful, 
&c.  which,  strange  as  it  may  seem,  would  be  more  agree- 
ably to  the  general  current  of  orthography,  written  bluly, 
bluness,  ruful,  &c.  The  reasons  seem  to  be  these  :  wherever 
the  general  laws  of  pronunciation  in  compounds  supply 
the  place  of  serviles  in  simple  words,  there  the  serviles  are 
omitted;  but  bluly,  bluness,  ruful,  &c.  according  to  the 
common  rule  of  pronouncing  would  be  as  justly  sounded 
as  bluely,  blueness,  rueful,  &c.  and  at  the  same  time  would 
preclude  the  possible  mistake  which  might  arise  if  the 
simples  blue  and  rue  were  not  understood  to  be  the  roots 
of  the  words  in  question;  for  in  this  case  blueness  and 
rueful  might  be  pronounced  as  if  divided  into  blu-e-ncss 
and  ru-e-ful ;  but  as  it  is  necessary  the  spelling  should 
convey  the  sound  of  the  compound,  without  supposing  a 
previous  knowledge  of  the  simples,  and  without  being 
liable  to  a  double  pronunciation,  the  omission  of  e  in  bluly 
and  bluness,  as  well  as  in  duly  and  truly,  seems  most  ana- 
logical. —  See  Aphorism  x. 

This  rule  serves  to  rectify  several  mistakes  of  the  press 
in  our  best  dictionary.

APHORISM   IX. 


Ment  added  to  the  words  ending  with  silent  e,  preserves 
the  e  from  elision,  as  abatement,  incitement,  chastisement, 
&c.  but,  like  other  terminations,  changes  the  y  into  i, 
when  preceded  by  a  consonant,  as  accompaniment. 

APHORISM  x. 

Able  and  ible,  when  incorporated  into  words  ending 
with  silent  e,  almost  always  cut  it  off,  as  blamable,  curable, 
sensible ;  but  if  c  or  g  soft  come  before  e  in  the  original 
word,  the  e  is  then  preserved,  as  changeable,  peaceable,  &c. 

Observations. 

This  exception  is  founded  on  the  necessity  of  showing 
that  the  preceding  c  and  g  in  these  words  are  soft,  which 
might  possibly  be  mistaken,  and  pronounced  hard,  if  written 
changable,  peacable,  &c.  Another  exception  seems  to  take 
place  in  the  compounds  of  move  and  prove,  which  are  ge- 
nerally written  moveable,  proveable,  &c.  but  on  an  inspec- 
tion into  all  the  compounds  of  these  words  in  Johnson 's 
Dictionary,  we  find  the  e  so  often  omitted  as  to  make  it 
very  doubtful  whether  these  words  are  an  exception  to  the 
general  rule  or  not,  for  thus  they  stand :

The  uncertainty  of  our  orthography  in  this  class  of  words 
may  be  presumed  to  arise  from  a  confused  idea  of  the  ne- 
cessity of  ascertaining  the  sound  of  the  simple  by  inserting 
the  silent  e,  and  the  general  custom  of  omit  ting  this  letter 
when  words  are  compounded  with  these  terminations;  and 


Xli  INTRODUCTION. 

it  will  require  some  attention  to  discover  to  which  of  these 
modes  of  spelling  we  ought  to  give  the  preference;  how- 
ever, till  better  reasons  are  offered  for  a  decision,  let  us 
suppose  the  following. 

The  first  object  of  spelling  compound  words  seems  to  be 
merely  a  conveyance  of  the  sound,  without  necessarily  sup- 
posing a  knowledge  of  the  simples;  that  the  elements  of 
which  the  compound  is  formed,  may  be  sufficient  of  them- 
selves to  suggest  their  sound.  The  next  object  of  spelling 
compounds  seems  to  be  an  omission  of  all  serviles  in  the 
simples  which  were  not  actually  sounded,  and  whose  use 
may  be  supposed  to  be  superseded  in  the  compounds  by  the 
general  laws  of  English  pronunciation,  which,  contrary  to 
those  of  the  learned  languages,  suppose  every  accented 
vowel  to  be  long  and  open,  which  is  followed  but  by  a  sin- 
gle consonant.  Thus  the  e  in  desirable  is  omitted,  because 
the  common  rules  of  pronunciation  indicate  that  the  accent 
upon  i,  followed  by  a  consonant  succeeded  by  a  vowel,  with 
the  accent  upon  it,  has  necessarily  the  same  sound  as  in 
desire.  But  when  the  radical  letters  have  not  their  ordi- 
nary sound  in  the  simples,  the  first  law  of  orthography 
takes  place,  and  inserts  the  servile  e  to  suggest  the  sound 
of  the  simple,  when  blended  with  the  compound;  for 
though  we  are  frugal  of  our  letters  to  a  fault,  yet  when  the 
sound  of  any  of  the  radical  letters  might  be  endangered  by 
such  an  omission,  we  then  find  the  e  preserved.  Nor  is  a 
previous  knowledge  of  the  simple  supposed  to  be  a  suffi- 
cient security,  as  in  changeable,  peaceable,  &c.  From  hence 
we  may  gather  that  every  compound  word  is  supposed  to 
convey  its  own  sound  agreeably  to  the  common  sound  of 
the  letters,  without  the  necessity  of  having  recourse  to  a 
knowledge  of  the  simples  from  which  it  is  formed,  and 
therefore  as  the  sound  of  o  in  move,  prove,  &c.  is  not  the 
general  sound  of  that  letter,  and  consequently  if  the  e  were 
not  preserved  to  suggest  the  simple,  it  might  be  liable  to 
the  sound  of  o  in  rove,  grove,  love,  or  shove,  we  find  it  per- 
fectly agreeable  to  the  first  general  law  of  English  ortho- 
graphy to  retain  the  letter  by  which  alone  the  sound  of  the 
radical  part  of  the  word  can  be  ascertained ;  and  therefore 
as  we  very  justly  write  moveable,  proveable,  &c.,  so  we 
ought  to  write  removeable,  improveable,  &c.  moving,  prov- 
ing,  &c.  being  affections  of  the  verbs  move  and  prove.

necessarily  suggest   their  simples,  and   make   the   insertion 
of  e  unnecessary.  —  See  Aphorism  iv. 

With  respect  to  reconcileable,  unreconcileable,  and  recon- 
cileableness,  which  we  find  in  Johnson  with  the  e,  though 
irreconcilable,  irreconcilably,  and  irreconcilableness,  are 
without  it,  we  must  class  these  with  saleable,  tameable, 
unshakeable,  untameable,  and  sizeable ;  for  as  these  are  the 
only  words  of  this  form  in  the  whole  language  where  the 
silent  e  is  preserved,  it  is  reasonable  to  suppose  that  its 
insertion  here  was  owing  to  the  inadvertence  either  of  the 
author  or  printer;  for  as  the  preservation  of  e  in  these  words 
is  founded  on  such  reasons  as  would  oblige  us  to  preserve 
the  silent  e  in  all  compounds  where  it  is  now  omitted,  and 
consequently  entirely  alter  the  current  orthography,  the 
omission  of  it,  wherever  the  preceding  vowel  or  consonant 
retains  its  general  sound,  is  certainly  the  most  analogical; 
as  there  is  no  more  reason  for  retaining  the  silent  e  in 
saleable,  tameable,  &c.  than  in  blamable,  tunable,  consum- 
able, &c. :  titlieable  has  a  proper  claim  to  the  e,  to  show 
that  ill  has  its  flat  or  obtuse  sound. 

APHORISM  XI. 

The  verbs  to  lay,  pay,  and  say,  by  an  unaccountable 
caprice,  form  their  preterits  and  participles  passive,  by 
changing  y  into  i,  and  omitting  e  in  the  assumed  termina- 
tion ed ;  and  instead  of  layed,  payed,  sayed,  we  always 
see  laid,  paid,  said,  which  orthography  is  preserved  in 
their  compounds,  as  unlaid,  unsaid,  repaid.  This  is  an 
exception  to  Aphorism  ii. 

APHORISM  XII. 

Words  taken  into  composition  often  drop  those  letters 
which  were  superfluous  in  their  simples,  as  Christmas, 
dungh.il,  handful,  &c. 

Observations. 

The  uncertainty  of  our  orthography  in  this  article  calls 
loudly  for  reformation,  and  nothing  can  better  show  the 
danger  of  indulging  this  excision,  than  a  display  of  the 
diversity  that  reigns  in  Johnson's  Dictionary.

The  origin  of  this  ridiculous  irregularity  which  has  pre- 
vailed within  these  few  years,  is  not  hard  to  guess.  Some 
shallow  writers,  or  perhaps  printers,  have  heard  that  good 
authors  have  complained  that  our  language  is  clogged  by 
clusters  of  consonants.  This  was  sufficient  to  set  these 
smatterers  at  work  on  so  easy  a  business  as  that  of  un- 
loading the  language  of  its  useless  letters;  and  we  find, 
under  the  notion  of  useless  letters,  and  clusters  of  conso- 
nants, we  are  near  being  deprived  of  the  most  useful  letters 
we  have.  But  words  are  evidently  mistaken  for  things. 
Clusters  of  consonants  to  the  ear  are  very  different  from 
assemblages  of  consonants  to  the  eye;  these  are  often  no 
more  than  double  consonants  of  the  same  kind,  and  are 
sounded  as  easily  as  single  ones;  but  those  knots  of  dis- 
cordant consonants  to  the  ear,  however  disgustful,  are  not 
to  be  removed  without  entirely  altering  the  language.  The 
clusters  of  consonants  of  which  Mr.  Addison  complains, 
are  those  that  arise  from  sinking  the  intervening  vowels 
in  pronunciation,  as  drown' d,  walk'd,  arriv'd,  for  drowned 
walked,  arrived.  The  double  letters  at  the  end  of  won  Is, 
which  are  ridiculously  confounded  with  what  is  termed 
clusters  of  consonants,  as  to  install,  windfall,  handful  f, 
&c.,  are  often  so  essentially  necessary  to 'preserve  the  true 
sound  from  being  mistaken,  that  if  we  deprive  words  of 
one  of  these  double  letters,  they  are  in  danger  of  degene- 
rating into  a  different  sound :  for  what  security  have  we 
but  a  previous  knowledge  of  the  simples,  which  is  contrary 
to  the  first  principles  of  our  orthography,  that  the  last 
syllable  of  watcrfal  is  not  to  rhyme  with  the  first  of  shal- 
low, and  the  last  of  handful  with  the  monosyllabic  dull  ? 

Note. — Some  of  these  double  letters  have  been  inserted  by  the  sub- 
sequent editors  of  Johnson's  Dictionary;  b\it  \\li.il;.  r  from  the  re- 
marks here  made,  or  their  own  sagacity,  we  are  not  informed. 


INTRODUCTION.  XV 

In  short,  as  Mr.  Elphinston  very  justly,  as  well  as  plea- 
santly, observes,  "  Every  reader,  both  young  and  old, 
must  now  be  so  sagacious  an  analyst,  as  to  discern  at 
once,  not  only  what  tire  compounds,  and  what  their  sim- 
ples, but  that  al  in  composition  is  equal  to  all  out  of  it; 
or,  in  other  words,  that  it  is,  both  what  it  is,  and  what  it 
is  not." — Prin.  Eng.  Lang.  vol.  i.  p.  60. 

Thus  have  I  ventured,  with  a  trembling  hand,  to  point 
out  a  few  of  the  most  glaring  inconsistencies  under  which 
the  orthography  of  our  language  labours,  without  daring 
to  make  the  least  step  to  a  reformation  myself;  for  if  ever 
this  be  done  to  any  good  purpose,  it  must  certainly  be  by 
the  joint  labour  of  both  our  universities;  till  when,  no*  in- 
dividual can  do  better  service  to  the  orthography  of  his 
country,  than  to  let  it  remain  as  it  stands  at  present  in  that 
monument  of  English  philology  erected  by  Johnson.  Those 
who  see  beyond  the  surface,  regret  the  many  deviations 
from  that  only  standard  of  our  language  by  the  Greeklings 
and  Latinitasters  of  this  smattering  age ;  and  it  is  certainly 
to  be  feared,  that  if  this  pruning  of  our  words  of  all  the 
superfluous  letters,  as  they  are  called,  should  be  much 
farther  indulged,  we  shall  quickly  antequate  our  most  re- 
spectable authors  and  irreparably  maim  our  language. 

SYLLABICATION. 

As  the  inverted  order  of  arrangement  gives  us  a  con- 
sistent idea  of  the  structure  of  language,  so  a  division 
of  words  into  syllables  directs  us  in  their  sound;  for  the 
division  here  adopted,  is  not  founded  on  any  rules  drawn 
from  etymology,  or  the  practice  of  languages  essentially 
different  from  our  own,  but  on  such  principles  as  are  the 
result  of  the  language  itself,  and  arise  naturally  from  the 
very  nature  and  practice  of  pronunciation.  This  part  of 
language,  which  has  been  left  to  chance  and  caprice,  is  of 
all  others  the  most  important  and  delicate.  Hardly  any- 
thing like  a  system  has  been  chalked  out,  or  have  any  rules 
been  given  that  have  produced  the  least  uniformity,  or  an- 
swered any  valuable  purposes  of  pronunciation.  Till  Dr. 
Kenrick's  Rhetorical  Dictionary,  we  have  scarcely  seen 
anything  like  an  attempt  to  divide  words  as  they  are  pro- 
nounced; but  the  Latin  and  Greek  syllabication  implicitly 


\vi  INTRODUCTION. 

:t<l»pu-il,  to  the  evident  disadvantage  of  children,  and  em- 
laiTassuient  of  foreigners  j  and  for  the  very  same  reasons 
that  Ham  us  contends  we  ought  to  divide  doctus  and  Atlas, 
into  do-ctus  and  A-tlas,  Mr.  Ward  insists  we  must  sepa- 
rate magnet,  poplar,  lustre  and  reptile,  into  ma-gnet,  po-plar, 
lustre,  and  re-ptile. 

Now  if  the  end  of  syllabication  may  be  supposed  to  be  the 
most  likely  method  of  directing  us  to  the  means,  we  shall 
find  nothing  can  be  more  absurd  than  such  a  division.  For 
the  object  of  parcelling  out  a  word  into  distinct  portions, 
seems  to  be  to  instruct  us  either  in  its  etymology  or  pro- 
nunciation. If  in  the  division  of  words  into  syllables  we 
have  only  etymology  in  view,  we  must  undoubtedly  resolve 
compounds  into  their  simples,  without  paying  the  least  at- 
tention to  the  sound  of  these  simples,  either  as  united,  or 
in  a  state  of  separation.  But  though  this  method  of  syl- 
labicating be  very  proper  when  we  would  investigate  the 
origin  of  a  word  and  show  its  derivation,  yet,  when  a  dis- 
tinctness of  sound  is  the  only  object  of  such  a  division,  as 
is  ever  the  case  in  the  pronunciation  of  language,  it  would 
be  the  highest  absurdity  to  clog  the  instruction  with  etymo- 
logical divisions,  as  these  are  frequently  opposite  to  actual 
pronunciation.  Here  then,  sound  alone  should  be  the  cri- 
terion of  syllabication,  and  we  ought  to  reduce  a  compound 
word  to  its  simple  impulses  of  the  voice,  as  we  would  a 
bar  of  music  to  its  simple  notes;  for  etymologists  may 
surely  content  themselves  with  their  own  divisions  where 
sound  is  not  in  question,  without  disturbing  those  whose 
principal  object  is  the  conveying  of  sound,  and  who  consi- 
der etymology  as  entirely  independent  on  it. 

Easy,  however,  as  such  a  division  may  appear  at  first 
view,  an  attempt  to  extend  it  to  every  word  in  the  lan- 
guage, will  soon  convince  us  that  the  ear  in  a  thousand 
instances  will  prove  but  a  very  uncertain  guide,  without  a 
knowledge  of  those  principles  by  which  the  ear  itself  is 
insensibly  directed,  and  which,  having  their  origin  in  the 
nature  of  language,  operate  with  steadiness  and  regularity 
in  the  midst  of  the  ficklest  affectation  and  caprice.  It  can 
scarcely  be  supposed  that  the  most  experienced  speaker 
has  heard  every  word  in  the  language  and  the  whole  circle 
of  sciences  pronounced  exactly  as  it  ought  to  be  ;  and  it' 
this  be  the  case,  he  must  sometimes  have  recourse  to  the 


INTRODUCTION. 

principles  of  pronunciation,  when  his  ear  is  either  unin- 
formed or  unfaithful.  These  principles  are  those  general 
laws  of  articulation  which  determine  the  character,  and  fix 
the  boundaries  of  every  language;  as  in  every  system  of 
speaking,  however  irregular,  the  organs  must  necessarily 
fall  into  some  common  mode  of  enunciation,  or  the  pur- 
pose of  Providence  in  the  gift  of  speech  would  be  abso- 
lutely defeated.  These  laws,  like  every  other  object  of 
philosophical  inquiry,  are  only  to  be  traced  by  an  attentive 
observation  and  enumeration  of  particulars,  and  when  these 
particulars  are  sufficiently  numerous  to  form  a  general  rule, 
an  axiom  in  pronunciation  is  required.  By  an  accumula- 
tion of  these  axioms,  and  an  analogical  comparison  of  them 
with  each  other,  we  discover  the  deviations  of  language 
where  custom  has  varied,  and  the  only  clew  to  guide  us 
where  custom  is  either  indeterminate  or -obscure. 

Thus,  by  a  view  of  the  words  ending  in  ity  or  ely,  I  find 
the  accent  invariably  placed  on  the  preceding  syllable,  as 
in  diversity,  congru'ity,  &c.  On  a  closer  inspection,  I  find 
every  vowel  in  this  antepenultimate  syllable,  when  no 
consonant  intervenes,  pronounced  long,  as  de'ity,  pi'ety, 
&c. :  a  nearer  observation  shows  me  that  if  a  consonant  in- 
tervene, every  vowel  in  this  syllable  but  u  contracts  itself, 
and  is  pronounced  short,  as  severity,  curiosity,  impu'nity, 
&c.  I  find  too,  that  even  u  contracts  itself  before  two 
consonants,  as  cur'vity,  tacitur'nity,  &c.,  and  that  scarcity 
and  rarity  (for  whose  irregularity  good  reasons  may  be 
given),  are  the  only  exceptions  to  this  rule  throughout  the 
language.  And  thus  we  have  a  series  of  near  seven  hun- 
dred words,  the  accentuation  of  which,  as  well  as  the 
quantity  of  the  accented  vowel,  is  reduced  to  two  or  three 
simple  rules. 

The  same  uniformity  of  accentuation  and  quantity,  may 
be  observed  in  the  first  syllable  of  those  words  which  have 
the  accent  on  the  third,  as  dem-on-stra'tion,  dim-i-nu'tion, 
lu-cu-brdtion,  &c.,  where  we  evidently  perceive  a  stress  on 
the  first  syllable  shortening  every  vowel  but  M,  and  this  in 
every  word  throughout  the  language,  except  where  two 
consonants  follow  the  M,  as  in  cur-vi-liri 'ear,  or  where  two 
vowels  follow  the  consonant  that  succeeds  any  other  vowel 
in  the  first  syllable,  as  de-vi-aftion ;  or  lastly,  where  the 
word  is  evidently  of  our  own  composition  as  re-con-vetf : 


xviii  INTRODUCTION. 

but  .-is  n  in  the  first  syllable  of  a  word,  having  ilu-  :;«vrnt 
on  the  third  has  the  same  tendency  to  length  and  opeun.-s 
as  was  observable  when  it  preceded  the  termination  ity  ;  I 
find  it  necessary  to  separate  it  from  the  consonant  in  bit- 
ty-ra'ceous,  which  I  have  never  heard  pronounced,  as  well 
as  in  lu-cu-bra'tion,  which  I  have,  and  this  from  no  pre- 
tended agreement  with  the  quantity  of  the  Latin  words 
these  are  derived  from,  for  in  the  former  word  the  u  is 
doubtful;  but  from  the  general  system  of  quantity  I  see 
adopted  in  English  pronunciation.  This  only  will  direct 
an  English  ear  with  certainty;  for  though  we  may  some- 
times place  the  accent  on  words  we  borrow  from  the 
Greek  or  Latin  on  the  same  syllable  as  in  those  languages, 
as  acu'men,  ekgi'ac,  &c. ;  nay,  though  we  sometimes  adopt 
the  accent  of  the  original  with  every  word  of  the  same 
termination  we  derive  from  it,  as  assidu'ity,  viridity,  &c. 
yet  the  quantity  of  the  accented  vowel  is  so  often  contrary 
to  that  of  the  Latin  and  Greek,  that  scarcely  the  shadow  of 
a  rule  can  be  drawn,  in  this  point,  from  these  languages 
to  ours.  Thus  in  the  letter  in  question,  in  the  Latin  ac- 
cumulo,  dubious,  tumor,  &c.,  the  first  u  is  every  where  short ; 
but  in  the  English  words  accumulate,  dubious,  tumour,  every 
where  long.  Nuptialis,  murmur,  turbulentus,  &c.  where  the 
u  in  the  first  syllable  in  Latin  is  long,  we  as  constantly 
pronounce  it  short  in  nuptial,  murmur,  turbulent,  &c.  Nor 
indeed  can  we  wonder  that  a  different  economy  of  quan- 
tity is  observable  in  the  ancient  and  modern  languages, 
as  in  the  former,  two  consonants  almost  always  lengthen 
the  preceding  vowel,  and  in  the  latter  as  constantly  shorten 
it.  Thus,  without  arguing  in  a  vicious  circle,  we  find 
that  as  a  division  of  the  generality  of  words  as  they  are 
actually  pronounced,  gives  us  the  general  laws  of  sylla- 
bication, so  these  laws,  once  understood,  direct  us  in  the 
division  of  such  words  as  we  have  never  heard  actually 
pronounced,  and  consequently  to  the  true  pronunciation 
of  them.  For  these  operations,  like  cause  and  effect,  re- 
flect mutually  a  light  on  each  other,  and  prove,  thai  1  y 
nicely  observing  the  path  which  custom  in  language  hu.s 
once  taken,  we  can  more  than  guess  at  the  line  she  must 
keep  in  a  similar  case,  where  her  footsteps  are  not  quite 
so  discernible.  So  true  is  the  observation  of  Scaliger,  Ita 
omnibus  in  rebus  certissima  ratione  sibi  ipsa  respondet  na- 
tura. — De  causis  Ling.  Lat. 


INTRODUCTION.  XIX 


PRONUNCIATION. 

Syllabication  having  sound  for  its  object,  and  the 
ciation  of  similar  terminations  contributing  so  largely  to 
facilitate  syllabication,  it  is  evident  that  the  most  obvious 
advantage  of  this  inverted  prospect  of  our  language  is  the 
assistance  it  affords  to  pronunciation.  In  other  dictiona- 
ries, words  of  a  totally  different  form  promiscuously  succeed 
each  other,  while  in  this  we  find  the  words  sorted  by  their 
species  as  well  as  letters.  It  is  recommended  by  Mr.  She- 
ridan, in  his  Lectures  on  Elocution,  to  select  those  words 
which  we  find  difficult  to  pronounce,  and  to  repeat  them 
frequently  till  a  habit  is  acquired.  This  rule  is  founded  on 
good  sense  and  experience,  and  ought  to  be  carefully  at- 
tended to  by  foreigners  and  provincials ;  but  if  the  difficulty 
of  pronouncing  lies  in  the  latter  syllables,  as  is  most  fre- 
quently the  case,  what  immense  labour  must  it  be  to  select 
these  from  a  common  dictionary  ?  But  in  this,  how  readily 
are  we  introduced  to  the  whole  species  of  any  termination 
at  once,  and  by  seeing  the  whole  class,  gain  an  intimate 
acquaintance  with  its  specific  orthography  and  pronuncia- 
tion :  for  by  this  means,  not  only  a  more  precise  idea  of  the 
spelling  of  words  is  obtained,  and  an  opportunity  of  habit- 
uating the  organs  to  every  difficult  termination,  but  the 
dependence  of  accent  on  termination  is  at  large  displayed, 
and  a  habit  induced  of  associating  the  stress  with  its  cor- 
respondent ultimate  syllable.  This  view  of  accent  will 
show  us  that  our  language  is  much  less  irregular  than  is  ge- 
nerally imagined,  and  we  soon  discover  termination  to  be, 
as  it  were,  a  rudder  to  accent,  a  key  that  opens  to  us  an 
unexpected  scene  of  uniformity,  and  proves,  as  Mr.  Elphin- 
ston  admirably  expresses  it,  "that  speech,  the  peculiar 
glory  of  rational  intercourse,  is  neither  given  nor  guided 
by  an  arbitrary  power,  but  that  use  in  language,  as  in  all 
nature,  is  no  other  than  the  constant  agency  of  harmony 
and  of  reason." — Prin.  Eng.  Lan.  vol.  i.  p.  3. 

There  are  few  but  must  observe  with  what  difficulty 
children,  and  even  youth,  acquire  a  secure  pronunciation 
of  the  technical  terms  in  the  learned  professions,  and  how 
frequently  they  are  at  a  loss  for  the  sound  of  an  English 
word  they  have  not  been  accustomed  to,  even  at  the  time 
they  are  making  great  advances  in  the  learned  languages. 


XX  INTKODUCTION. 

Tliis  observation  will  naturally  lead  us  to  presume  that 
the  present  work,  of  all  others,  must  be  the  most  useful  for 
such  schools  aa  are  not  entirely  negligent  of  their  mother 
tongue.  Here  the  words  of  any  difficulty  are  selected  in 
a  moment,  and  by  being  repeated  a  few  times  over  in  the 
order  they  lie,  will  imbue  the  ear  with  such  an  accentual 
rhythmus,  if  I  may  call  it  so,  as  will  infallibly  regulate  the 
pronunciation  ever  after. 

The  division  and  accentuation  of  words  according  to  the 
length  or  shortness  of  the  vowels,  is  an  advantage  to  pro- 
nunciation which  must  strike  the  most  cursory  inspector. 
The  utility  of  such  a  method,  if  just  and  agreeable  to  the 
analogy  of  the  language,  will  be  readily  acknowledged  by 
those  who  arc  so  frequently  disappointed  in  the  inspection 
of  other  dictionaries.  It  is  not  a  little  surprising  that  a 
method  of  accentuation,  so  peculiarly  useful,  should  till 
lately  have  been  almost  entirely  neglected.  This  defect  in 
the  generality  of  our  dictionaries  did  not  escape  the  judi- 
cious Mr.  Sheridan,  who  insists  largely  on  the  utility  of 
placing  the  accent  on  the  consonant,  when  the  preceding 
vowel  is  short,  and  on  the  vowel,  when  the  vowel  itself  is 
long;  and  though  this  does  not  specify  the  kind  of  vowel, 
with  respect  to  sound,  which  is  the  subject  of  accentuation, 
it  at  least  determines  its  quantity,  and  is  so  far  infinitely 
superior  to  the  common  method  of  placing  the  accent  on 
the  vowel,  whether  it  be  long  or  short. 

Another  and  almost  exclusive  advantage  of  the  present 
work  is,  that  every  monosyllable  which  swerves  from  the 
general  rule  of  pronunciation,  is  rhymed  with  such  a  word 
as  cannot  possibly  be  pronounced  otherwise  than  it  is 
written;  or  if  this  cannot  be  done,  it  is  spelled  in  such  a 
manner  as  to  take  away  all  ambiguity.  Thus  as  the  more 
general  sound  of  the  diphthong  ea  is  like  e  long  and  open 
in  here,  mere,  &c.  wherever  it  deviates  from  this  sound,  a 
rhyme  is  inserted  to  ascertain  its  pronunciation;  head 
therefore  is  rhymed  with  bed,  that  it  may  not  be  liable  to 
the  Scotch  pronunciation  of  this  word,  as  if  spelled  heed ; 
and  great  is  rhymed  with  bale,  that  it  may  be  distinguished 
from  the  sound  the  Irish  are  apt  to  give  it,  as  if  spelled  greet. 
A  bow  (to  shoot  with)  is  rhymed  with  go,  and  bow  (an  act  of 
reverence)  with  cow ;  and  prove,  dove,  &c.  are  determined 
in  their  pronunciation  by  the  univocal  orthography  proove, 


INTRODUCTION.  XXI 

j  &c. ;  by  this  means  the  stamina  of  our  language,  as 
monosyllables  may  be  called,  are  freed  from  ambiguity  of 
sound,  and  compounds  rendered  easier  by  fixing  the  pro- 
nunciation of  their  simples. 

RHYME. 

The  last,  though  perhaps  the  least,  advantage  of  the  fol- 
lowing work,  is  the  complete  collection  of  all  the  rhymes  in 
the  language.  However  insignificant  it  may  seem  in  this 
respect,  it  is  at  least  new.  For  though  Byshe  has  given 
us  a  Dictionary  of  Rhymes  at  the  end  of  his  Art  of  Poetry, 
his  Dictionary,  if  it  may  be  called  so,  does  not  contain  six 
thousand  words,  when  Johnson's  Dictionary,  to  which  this 
approaches  nearer  than  any  other,  has  very  few  short  of 
forty  thousand.  Here  then,  as  in  the  French  Dictionnaire 
des  Rimes  of  Richelet,  the  whole  language  is  arranged 
according  to  its  similar  endings,  and  the  English  are  no 
longer  unfurnished  with  an  assistance  to  versification,  which 
Abbe  du  Bos  tell  us  the  French  poets  Quoiqu'ils  en  discnt 
Us  ont  tons  ce  livre  dans  leur  arrtire  cabinet.  But  had  the 
author  seen  no  farther  advantage  in  this  work,  than  barely 
furnishing  similar  sounds  for  the  purposes  of  poetry,  he 
should  have  thought  his  labour  ill  bestowed.  It  is  by  no 
means  his  intention  to  vindicate  the  cause  of  rhyme  to  the 
least  prejudice  of  a  nobler  verse,  which  is  the  peculiar  glory 
of  the  English  as  a  living  language ;  nor  will  he  insist  on 
the  proofs,  both  from  nature  and  experience,  that  rhyme 
may  be  sometimes  admitted  to  advantage,  while  Waller, 
Dryden,  and  Pope  are  in  every  body's  hands.*  It  will  only 
be  necessary  to  observe,  that  for  fear  those  who  have  been 
accustomed  to  the  common  dictionary  of  rhymes  annexed 
to  Byshe,  should  find  a  difficulty  in  discovering  words  by 
this  new  arrangement,  an  index  of  Rhymes,  much  more  co- 
pious and  correct  than  any  hitherto  published,  is  added,  in 
which  the  old  method  of  classing  the  words  is  continued, 
and  a  new  and  numerous  class  of  allowable  rhymes  pointed 
out,  with  authorities  for  their  usage  from  our  best  poets; 
but  for  a  more  satisfactory  account  of  this  part  of  the  work, 
see  the  Preface  to  the  Index,  at  the  end  of  this  Dictionary.

XXli  INTRODUCTION. 

AN 

IDEA  OF  THE  ARRANGEMENT  OF  WORDS 
IN  THIS  DICTIONARY. 

As  in  other  dictionaries  words  follow  each  other  in  an  alphabetical 
order  according  to  the  letters  they  begin  with,  in  this  they  follow  i-ndi 
other  according  to  the  letters  they  end  with.  All  words  therefore  that 
cud  with  a  are  placed  first  in  this  Dictionary  ;  as  all  those  that  begin 
with  a  are  placed  first  in  other  Dictionaries  ;  those  that  end  with  b  are 
placed  next,  and  so  of  the  rest.  The  directing  letters  at  the  top  of 
each  page,  are  likewise  in  the  same  order;  that  is,  they  are  the  last 
letters  of  words  instead  of  the  first. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  FINDING  WORDS. 

In  looking  for  a  word,  the  last  letter  is  to  be  sought  first,  the  last  but 
one  next,  and  so  on  from  the  last  to  the  first  letters  of  a  word  in  an 
order  exactly  contrary  to  that  of  other  dictionaries.  Thus,  if  I  want 
to  find  the  word  Idea,  I  must  first  look  for  a,  among  those  words  which 
end  with  a  ;  these  I  find  in  the  page  opposite  to  this.  The  next  letter 
I  want  is  e,  I  therefore  look  among  those  words  that  end  with  a,  for  a 
word  whose  last  letter  but  one  is  e,  and  find  it  in  the  word  Paimrui, 
the  seventeenth  word  from  the  top  ;  the  next  letter  d,  I  look  for  among 
those  words  that  end  with  ea,  and  find  it  in  the  word  after  Panacea, 
which  is  the  word  I  sought.  So  that  for  the  last  letter  of  a  word,  I 
look  among  those  words  ending  with  the  same  letter ;  for  the  last  letter 
but  one  of  a  word,  I  look  among  the  last  letters  but  one  of  these  words, 
and  so  of  the  rest. 

It  must  be  particularly  noted,  that  the  directing  letters  on  the  top  of 
each  page,  are  to  be  looked  for  in  the  same  order,  that  is,  from  the 
right  hand  to  the  left. 

The  best  way  to  avoid  confusion,  will  be  to  look  for  the  letters  one 
by  one,  and  to  begin  with  the  first  word  of  every  class,  and  so  proceed 
downwards  till  the  word  is  found.  Thus,  if  1  want  to  find  the  word 
Alphabet,  I  keep  the  last  letter  t  in  my  mind,  and  turn  to  that  part  of 
the  Dictionary  where  the  words  ending  with  t  are  classed,  which  is 
near  the  end.  The  first  word  of  this  class  I  find  to  be  at  ;  the  next 
letter  I  want  is  e;  I  therefore  run  my  eye  down  the  last  letter  but  one 
of  this  class  till  I  come  to  bet,  the  next  letter  I  want  is  a,  which  leads 
me  to  fix  my  eye  upon  the  fourth  letter  from  the  last,  which  brings  me 
to  ubet,  and  so  of  the  rest. 

As  this  arrangement  is  perfectly  simple,  two  or  three  trials  will 
render  it  as  intelligible  as  the  common  order,  especially  if  the  word 
we  look  for  be  first  written  down,  and  carried  along  with  the  eye  in 
its  search.

PREFACE 

TO   THE 

INDEX  OF  PERFECT  AND  ALLOWABLE  RHYMES. 


As  the  principal  object  of  the  preceding  Syllabic  Dictionary  was  to 
throw  light  on  the  structure,  orthography,  and  pronunciation  of 
our  language,  it  was  necessary  to  adhere  strictly  to  the  inverted 
order  of  arrangement,  that  terminations  of  similar  orthography 
might  be  classed  together,  though  those  of  similar  sound  would 
sometimes,  by  this  means,  be  separated ;  but  as  the  inverted  posi- 
tion of  the  words,  though  the  simplest  that  could  be  chosen  for 
this  purpose,  may  possibly  at  first  embarrass  the  inspector  for 
poetry,  an  index  of  rhymes  is  annexed  in  the  same  order  as  in 
Poole  and  Byshe,  though  much  more  copious  and  correct,  besides 
a  reference  to  an  almost  infinite  number  of  allowable  rhymes,  with 
authorities  for  their  usage  from  our  best  poets.  As  an  index  to 
allowable  rhymes  is  an  attempt  perfectly  new,  it  may  not  be  im- 
proper to  make  a  few  observations  with  respect  to  its  utility,  and 
answer  some  objections  to  which  it  may  be  liable. 

OBS.  1.  Whatever  has  been  constantly  practised  by  our  most 
harmonious  poets  may  be  safely  presumed  to  be  agreeable  to  the 
genius  of  our  poetry:  it  is  highly  probable  that  our  prosody  has 
passed  its  meridian,  and  that  no  reformation  can  possibly  be  made 
without  injuring  it.  The  delicate  ears  of  a  Pope  or  an  Addison, 
would  scarcely  have  acquiesced  in  the  usage  of  imperfect  rhymes, 
and  sanctified  them  so  often  by  their  practice,  if  such  rhymes  had 
been  really  a  blemish.  The  same  masculine  force  that  supports 
our  poetry  without  the  assistance  of  any  rhyme  at  all,  seems  to 
exempt  it  from  that  servile  attention  to  perfectly  similar  rhymes, 
to  which  the  French  versification  is  inviolably  bound.  Nay,  so 
far  from  a  defect,  that  there  seems  to  be  sometimes  a  beauty  in 
departing  from  a  perfect  exactness  of  rhyme,  as  it  agreeably  breaks 
that  sameness  of  returning  sounds  on  the  expecting  ears  which  in 
poetry,  perhaps  as  in  music,  requires  something  like  an  occasional 
discord  to  make  even  harmony  itself  more  agreeable. 

OBS.  2.  But  though  an  English  ear  will  freely  admit  of  a  rhyme 
between  a  long  and  short  sound  of  the  same  vowel,  and  sometimes 

(667) 


658  PREFACE. 

even  between  the  long  and  short  sounds  of  different  vowels,  yet  these 
vowels  that  are  suffered  to  rhyme  are  not  of  a  different  nature, 
though  called  by  a  different  name.  The  inaccuracy  with  which  they 
are  denominated  has  but  very  little  influence  on  the  practice  of  our 
poets,  who,  trying  them  by  the  only  infallible  touchstone,  the  ear, 
discover  the  relation  between  similar  vowels,  better  than  by  a 
grammatical  analysis.  By  the  usage  of  poets,  we  find  the  vowels 
frequently  associated  according  to  their  radical  sound,  and  that  a 
union  is  lawful  between  any  vowels  of  the  same  family,  as  it  may 
be  called,  though  the  same  may  be  different;  therefore,  as  the  e 
in  led  is  by  no  means  the  real  short  sound  of  that  letter  as  heard  in 
its  name,  or  in  the  word  gkde,  it  is  no  wonder  if  the  poets  very 
often  associate  it  with  the  slender  a,  as  heard  in  lade,  and  of  which 
it  is  really  the  short  sound.  The  same  may  be  observed  of  almost 
every  other  imperfect  rhyme  we  meet  with;  if  the  family  sound 
of  the  vowel  be  preserved,  the  ear  acknowledges  the  affinity ;  if  a 
vowel  of  a  totally  different  sound  be  assumed,  the  ear  immediately 
detects  the  incongruous  mixture. 

Thus  the  different  sounds  of  the  vowels,  i,  e,  a,  o,  u,  slide  into 
each  other  by  an  easy  gradation,  each  of  which  is  sufficiently  related 
to  the  preceding  and  succeeding  sound  to  form  what  is  called  an  al- 
lowable rhyme.  And  though  it  must  be  confessed  that  poets  have 
sometimes  abused  the  liberty  of  rhyming,  and  wounded  the  ear  by 
an  association  of  discordant  vowels,  yet  this  is  no  argument  against 
the  occasional  use  of  such  rhymes  as  are  but  gentle  inflections  of 
the  same  radical  sound,  as  these  circulate  freely  through  our  best 
compositions,  and  actually  form  a  part  of  our  prosody. 

OBS.  3.  It  will  be  necessary,  therefore,  to  observe,  that  although 
authorities  are  not  brought  for  the  usage  of  every  individual  allow- 
able rhyme,  the  species  of  these  rhymes,  if  I  may  call  them  so,  are 
amply  and  repeatedly  illustrated.  For  the  same  ear  which  allows 
glass  to  rhyme  with  place,  or  place  with  peace  and  distress,  will  per- 
mit decay' d  to  rhyme  with ./?«/,  and  shade  with  mead;  for  the  con- 
sonants with  which  they  terminate  do  not  alter  the  nature  of  the 
preceding  vowels,  or  occasion  any  diversity  in  the  quality  of  the 
rhyme.  It  would,  therefore,  have  been  sufficient  to  have  adduced 
a  much  smaller  number  of  poetical  examples  than  are  here  given ; 
as  they  are  all  founded  on  the  same  principles,  and  must  necessarily 
stand  or  fall  together. 

It  may  be  objected,  that  a  work  of  this  kind  contributes  to 
extend  poetic  blemishes,  by  furnishing  imperfect  materials  and 
apologies  for  using  them.  But  it  may  be  answered,  that  if  these 


PREFACE.  G59 

feet  rhymes  were  allowed  to  be  blemishes,  it  would  still  be  better 
to  tolerate  them,  than  cramp  the  imagination  by  the  too  narrow 
boundaries  of  exactly  similar  sounds.  A  want  of  perfect  rhyme, 
if  a  real  imperfection,  is  fully  compensated  by  gaining  access  to  a 
more  eligible  turn  of  thought;  the  most  exact  and  harmonious 
rhyme  would  be  dearly  purchased  at  the  expense  of  the  most  de- 
licate abatement  in  the  strength  or  beauty  of  an  expression.  And 
as  Byshe  supposes  that  the  difficulty  of  finding  rhymes  has  been 
the  cause  that  such  indifferent  ones  have  been  frequently  chosen, 
so  it  may  with  as  much  reason  be  presumed  that  the  want  of  re- 
collecting the  licenses  of  our  best  writers,  and  how  agreeable  they 
occasionally  are  to  the  nature  of  our  poetry,  has  often  been  the 
cause,  either  of  choosing  a  weak  expression  for  the  sake  of  perfect 
rhyme,  or  of  relinquishing  a  valuable  one  for  no  other  reason  than 
the  want  of  it. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  FINDING  RHYMES  IN  THE  INDEX. 

The  simplest  idea  of  the  rhymes  in  this  arrangement  is,  that  the 
words  are  divided  into  five  classes  according  to  the  vowel  in  their 
terminations :  the  first  vowel  in  the  last  syllable  of  every  word  is 
first  to  be  sought  for,  and  every  other  subsequent  letter  in  its  na- 
tural order,  that  is,  from  the  left  hand  to  the  right.  Thus,  if  I 
want  a  rhyme  to  hand,  I  look  in  the  first  class  of  vowels  a  ;  the  next 
letter  is  n,  which  obliges  me  to  proceed  till  I  come  to  ban,  bran, 
&c.;  the  next  letter  is  d,  which  I  find  after  ANCH,  and  before  I 
come  to  ANE.  If  I  want  a  rhyme  to  command,  a  is  the  first  vowel 
in  the  last  syllable,  and  I  proceed  therefore  as  in  hand,  and  so  of 
every  other;  but  as  every  arrangement  of  words  but  the  natural 
is  attended  with  difficulty,  I  shall  endeavour  to  make  the  rule  for 
finding  rhymes  as  plain  as  possible,  by  adopting  the  directions  of 
Byshe,  omitting  that  only  which  relates  to  the  letter  y,  as  custom 
has  entirely  excluded  the  termination  ie  in  the  words  defy,  rely, 
&C.,  which  in  his  time  were  frequently  written  defie,  relit,  &c. 

1.  In  looking  for  a  word,  consider  the  five  vowels,  A,  E,  I,  O,  V, 
and  begin  at  the  vowel  that  precedes   the  last  consonant  of  the 
word ;   for  example,  to  find  persuade,  and   the  words   that  rhyme 
to  it,  D  is  the  last  consonant,  A  the  vowel  that  precedes  it ;  look 
for  ADE  and  you  will  find  made,  fade,  invade,  and  all  the  other 
words  of  that  rhyme. 

2.  In  like  manner,  if  a  word  end  in  two  or  more  consonants,  begin 
at  the  vowel  that  immediately  precedes  the  first  of  them ;  for  ex- 


PREFACE. 

ample,  land,  N  is  the  first  of  the  final  consonants,  A  the  vowel  that 
precedes  it ;  see  AND,  and  you  will  find  band,  stand,  command,  &c. 

3.  But  if  a  diphthong,  that  is  to  say,  two  or  more  vowels  together, 
precedes  the  last  consonant  or  consonants  of  a  word,  begin  at  the 
first  of  these  two  vowels ;  thus,  to  find  the  rhymes  to  disdain,  look 
not  for  IN,  but  for  AIN,  and  you  will  find  brain,  chain,  gain,  &c. 

4.  To  find  a  word  that  ends  in  a  diphthong  preceded  by  a  conso- 
nant, begin  only  at  the  first  vowel  of  the  diphthong ;  for  example,  to 
find  the  rhymes  to  subdue,  look  for    UE,  and  you  find  clue,  due, 
ensue,  &c. 

6.  All  the  words  that  end  in  a  single  vowel  preceded  by  a  con- 
sonant are  found  by  looking  for  that  vowel  only,  except  always  the 
words  that  end  in  mute  E,  which  are  constantly  found  by  the  same 
method  that  has  been  already  prescribed  for  finding  the  rhymes  to 
persuade,  whose  final  E  is  silent,  and  serves  only  to  lengthen  the 
sound  of  the  A  in  the  last  syllable.

CARE  has  been  taken  in  the  compiling  of  this  Index  to  class  rhymes 
together  with  the  most  scrupulous  precision.  Such  as  are  called 
perfect  rhymes  are  exactly  similar ;  those  that  differ  by  nicer 
shades  are  called  nearly  perfect,  and  the  rest  allowable  only.  So 
that  this  collection  of  words  is  in  some  measure  a  dictionary  of 
pronunciation,  and  may  answer  very  useful  purposes  to  foreigners 
and  provincials,  who,  by  understanding  the  sound  of  one  word, 
may  become  acquainted  with  the  pronunciation  of  a  whole  class. 
Thus,  if  I  would  know  how  the  word  gross  is  pronounced,  that  is, 
whether  according  to  the  French  or  English  analogy,  I  look  into 
that  rank  of  words  which  terminate  in  oss,  but  do  not  find  it:  I 
then  look  among  those  in  ose,  and  find  it  rhymes  perfectly  with 
verbose,  jocose,  &c.  And  at  the  same  time  I  avoid  being  misled  by 
the  licenses  of  poets  in  their  different  usage  of  the  looser  and 
less  perfect  rhymes. 

No  notice  need  be  taken  of  the  advantages  arising  from  instances 
being  given  of  plurals  and  participles,  as  lays,  days,  obeyed,  platfd, 
&c.  as  this  will  immediately  appear  upon  inspection,  which,  with 
many  other  improvements,  renders  this  Index  of  Rhymes,  entirely 
independent  of  its  connection  with  the  Pronouncing  Dictionary, 
greatly  superior  to  every  other  work  of  the  kind  in  our  language.

706  INDEX. 

I  have  purposely  omitted  many  licences  I  might  have  produced,  aa 
judging  them  in  reality  too  licentious.  Among  these,  however,  I  do  not 
reckon  this  of  Sternhold  and  Hopkins,  of  Gothic  memory : 

And  how  he  did  commit  their  fruits 

Unto  the  caterpillar, 
And  eke  the  labour  of  their  hands 

Ho  gave  to  the  yrasthoppcr. 

These  reverend  versifiers  of  the  Psalms,  who  for  centuries  have  been 
the  constant  butt  of  criticism,  are  now  fallen  below  it.  The  rhymes  I 
have  passed  by  are  such  as  belong  to  more  respectable  names. 

With  kind  embraces,  such  as  / 
'Twist  about  my  loving  she. — OLDHAH. 

Draw  next  the  patron  of  that  tree, 

Draw  Bacchus  and  soft  Cupid  by. — OLDHAM. 

Our  thoughtless  sex  is  caught  by  outward  form 
And  empty  noise,  and  loves  itself  in  Man. — DRTDEN. 

My  parents  are  propitious  to  my  wish, 

And  she  herself  consenting  to  the  bliss. — DKYDEN. 

One  sees  her  thighs  transformed;  another  view* 

Her  arms  shoot  out,  and  branching  into  boughs. — ADDIS  ON. 

Wit  kindled  by  the  sulph'rous  breath  of  vice, 

Like  the  blue  light'ning,  while  it  shines  destroys. — POPE. 

But  notwithstanding  these,  and  some  other  vices  of  the  same  kind, 
which  some  of  our  most  respectable  poets  have  inadvertently  fallen 
into,  there  are  few  inspectors  into  this  Index  but  must  observe  an  obvi- 
ous analogy  between  the  vowels  in  the  generality  of  the  instances  pro- 
duced ;  and  that  however  uncouthly  they  may  sound  when  pronounced 
alone,  they  give  no  disgust  to  an  English  ear,  when  introduced  at  proper 
intervals ;  but  it  is  not  so  much  my  intention  to  apologize  for  the  use  of 
these  imperfect  rhymes,  as  to  show  how  they  are  used,  and  upon  what 
authority.  It  is  certain  they  may  be  used  too  frequently,  and  that  they 
are  far  from  being  all  equally  agreeable  to  the  car.  In  short,  the  same 
taste  and  delicacy  are  necessary  in  this,  as  in  the  more  essential  i>:irt  <>f 
poetry ;  beauties  and  blemishes  often  differ  but  by  nice  shades,  and  it  ia 
the  master  alone  who  can  discern  that  point  where  boldness  «i 
rates  into  harshness,  and  correctness  into  frigidity.
